Ponytail Masterclass

By Amy Lawrenson

Following on from the success of Headmasters' Plait Masterclass the salon is offering a Ponytail version for the new season. You can choose from three ponytails - The Mistress Pony, which is super sleek and tied with leather binding (ticking the fetish trend too); The Pop Pony, which includes a knot detail at the end; or The Knotted Pony (the one I went for) which is undone, textured and romantic.

2: If you have long hair tong random sections of you hair to create tousled waves. On shorter hair (like mine), wind the hair into little dreads to create texture.

3: Finger brush the hair back and secure with an elastic.

4: If your hair is long wrap the tail around the base once or twice (depending on length) to get the bun shape. Pin in place leaving the rest of the tail to hang loose from the bottom of the bun.

If your hair is shoulder length, split the pony in two, twist the top section around and secure to give the effect of a bun, leaving the rest of the hair hanging loose. It actually gives your hair the illusion of being longer.

5: Finish by massaging the head to create a loose, wispy, romantic texture and spritz with a salt spray or hair spray.

The Ponytail Masterclass, £45 for 45 mins at Headmasters nationwide from tomorrow.
